# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like a vacation in a bowl without requiring you to leave your kitchen.
  • The whole thing comes together in ten minutes, making it perfect for mornings when you're rushed but refuse to compromise on nutrition.
  • Crunchy granola and creamy fruit create this textural harmony that honestly feels a bit luxurious for breakfast.
02 -
  • Don't over-blend past smooth or you risk ending up with a drinkable smoothie instead of a bowl texture—the moment it stops being chunky is the moment to stop the blender.
  • Add your toppings right before eating because granola begins softening the instant it touches the bowl, which some people love and others find sad.
03 -
  • Freeze banana in advance because room-temperature banana results in a thin, un-spoonable disappointment masquerading as a smoothie bowl.
  • Buy coconut flakes from the bulk section where they're fresher and cheaper, and taste a single one before adding to assess whether they're truly unsweetened or sneakily sugary.
